025. Obvio Call - June 9

Topics covered include:

• Make sure you are the only one on the Dashboard while making edits. (4:00)
• The autosave feature will overwrite changes made while multiple people are on the Dashboard. Be mindful of who has Admin privileges and when they are making changes to the Dashboard. 
• Forms cannot be copied. Workaround - recreate the same form again. (6:15)
• In forms, you can check the box to allow attendees to edit their answers. However, attendees cannot have multiple submissions in the same form. (7:00)
• Zoom and Obvio are two separate platforms, you can’t post a back to the Dashboard button inside of Zoom. (13:15)
• When someone joins a Zoom meeting via the Dashboard, it will pop open as a new window, so the Dashboard will simply be behind the Zoom window.
• This way, when attendees close out of their Zoom meeting, they are not closing out of Obvio. They do, however, need to navigate back to the Obvio Dashboard tab. 
• How to help non-tech savvy attendees understand how to navigate back to the Dashboard. 
• Post clear instructions in a blog post on the Dashboard
• Incorporate those functions as part of your Tech Check
